    A popular club for people who want to have fun Russian style.
    Need to reserve a table a week ahead or go early and sit at the bar. Later there will be no tables or seats.

    On a friday or Saturday there will be a lot of people and you can see a lively club of people having fun. There may be some strip shows after midnight on the bar. But the main attraction is lively music with a DJ and emcee to make sure everyone is having a good time.

    It has face control and reservation of a table is 1500 rubles (And tables are all reserved every night) But you can go before 9 pm and sit on a barstool and see an upscale Russian club for free. Tea is 100 rubles a pot with cookies, interesting mohito drink is 300 rubles.

    Theaters and Concert Halls: Jam Hall movie and dinner
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Nightlife Spot: Jam Hall movie theaters

    There are two Jan Hall movie theaters in St. Petersburg.
    They have sofas for seating 2 or 3 people and serve pizza and cocktails while you enjoy the show. You turn on a little red light on the small table in front of your sofa for service.
    The service is slow. For the midnight shows there is no food service and the waitresses leave in 15 minutes.
    Things from the bar are generally good and pizza not bad. Ice cream may taste old and soda may be served warm. But if the movie is good and the company good, it is a nice place!

    Evening Outing: Music: Valery Nagorny trio
  • Tip Rating:
  • Saint Petersburg Evening Outing
  • Valery Nagorny Trio jams
  • by sennaya
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Nightlife Spot: Jazz Philharamonic Hall

    I heard the Valery Nagorny Trio. Valery is a well-known jazz saxophonist and composer. He may be teh best i have ever heard.
    He plays many melodic standards such as "Round Midnight" to his own modern compositions. For the foreigner it is a delightful mix of familiar and new. I am waiting to hear Valery at the Monterey Jazz Festival. :) Valery is lately on tour in europe and America.

    The Jazz Philharmonic Hall nightclub is a major venue for jazz in Saint Petersburg. The seating is cabaret tables with cocktails. The mural on the wall is of American jazz artist from the classic band era.

    Theme: Live Music
    Dress Code: The audience is from casual to formal. A less demonstrative crowd than in US jazz venues. But obviously an appreciative audience. Nice place to go with friends to talk, hear good music and perhaps mingle a bit.

    Evening Outing: The Shamrock - Irish Music
  • Tip Rating:
  • Nightlife Spot: Evening Outing

    Take a few steps down from street level into a real Irish Pub with 14 varieties of beer and live music 5 nights a week. It seems odd that this is the only watering hole near the Marinsky Theater, the ultimate venue for classical music and ballet.

    Perhaps some feel the need for some folk music and beer arter a highbrow evening. :) Service is light, atmosphere relaxed.
    Televised Sports events may on cue.
    The CCE (Celtic City Experience) Irish band with Jenja and Elena was very pleasant for listening and talking to friends. Some nights may be noisy with louder music. :)
